Happy birthday, Kyle!!

Closeup shot of work on a loom; the warp thread is pink and the weft is brown. On the right edge, four sets of ends have been twisted into fringe.

Fringe!

A worktable with a rigid heddle loom on it; the loom is warped with pink thread & the weft is brown. Some other supplies are scattered on the table. In the background: some shelves, a table with a serger on it, a window looking at a parking garage.

Worked here for almost 3 years now and I still say hello, little studio almost every time I come in.

I do like hobbits and other woodland creatures!

Honestly delighted to be a part of this case of mistaken identity!

Sometimes the cats borrow my jacket.

‘Of Salt and Spirit’: Black Quilters Record Southern History The Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, is displaying the exhibit, “Of Salt and Spirit: Black Quilters in the American South,” through April 15, 2022.

“It’s important for me to celebrate the contributions of these women as artists, as everyday archivists and individuals who inspire so many," guest curator Sharbreon Plummer said of the Mississippi Museum of Art's new exhibit showcasing Black quilters from the South.

A photo of a table taken from above. There's some blue and yellow checked flannel on the table with the pattern pieces for the fronts and button band of a shirt laid out on it.

Got two button up shirts cut out and a holiday weekend ahead.

She looks so disgruntled and so snuggly! And that flip of the An Oresteia quote that keeps floating around is perfection.

I'm pattern matching the center front and making sure there's a snake on the upper collar but that's it!!

Close up photo of pattern tissue pinned to fabric for cutting. It looks like a snake printed on the fabric is inspecting the edge of the pattern tissue.

I'm not fussy cutting this shirt out, but I'm not *not* fussy cutting it either.

Evergreen mood.
